The kick-off festivities for the Humboldt Folklife Society's Folklife Festival happen today at 2 p.m. at the Mad River Brewery with music by That Buckin' String Band and La Patinas, as well as Psychedelvis and The Rounders, who will also be playing another free gig at the Logger Bar at 9 p.m. tonight. So now you have a cool spot to soothe that sunburn or nurse that day-drinking head.

Also at 9 p.m. at Humbrews, you can watch the ribald antics of burlesque troupe Ragdoll Revue as it presents its Anything Goes show, hosted by Jamie Bondage. Come enjoy the scintillating works of artists with stage names like Jessica Pow!, Mama T and Andy Rogynous ($13, $10 advance).
